On Friday last week, we woke to find that the basement had flooded a little. We got a ridiculous amount of rain Wednesday through Friday, and the hole in the foundation, where the water meter is, had filled up. One corner of the basement had water in it. We wet-vacuumed and dehumidified, and now it's better. I guess we need to grade the front of the house.
We attended a Hanukah-themed (but it's not really Hanukah yet) party down the street on Friday night. People liked the Trader Joe's ginger bread we brought. It's a soft cakey ginger bread (not a hard crusty kind), and we add dark chocolate shavings to the batter. This time we also chopped up some dried cherries and threw those in.
Saturday evening we ended up in New York City to hang out with Deb and Suzanne. It was super cold and packed with tourists. We voyaged down to Rockefeller Center after the sun went down. Brrr-rrr-r-r-r.
That night we went to Anthony and Chris's Festivus party. They had pint glasses made for the event. Big party. Lots of fun.
We were back at home Sunday around noon. We found some time to mail off some holiday gifts, clean the car, and start watching Band of Brothers again. Amazing.
Tonight, I'll be hitting up the Advancement holiday party for a couple hours, and Sue attends her first ever book club. This month, the club read Snow Flower and the Secret Fan.
PS
On our drive south, Grover sustained a tiny chip in his windshield on the edge of the driver's side. Arg. The windshield seems to be slowly cracking left to right.

um...pictures of moo-moos (spelling?!) are conspicuously absent from this blog entry and i am disappointed.
Apparently it can be spelled muʻumuʻu, muumuu, muu-muu, or mumu. Ha. Hawaiians and all their vowels.
Anyway, I posted the best shot we got to Facebook. Fun times, and good to see you this weekend, D-Glasser. Looking forward to the next time. :)!
thanks for the spell check, rob!
